Whittard Hot Chocolate. Just Don’t Do It. (it’ll ruin you forever)
If I said Whittard of Chelsea to you, I bet you’d immediately say TEA! I know I would have. So it was a bit of a surprise when they sent us some Hot Chocolate. But hey – only a fool ever says no to Hot Chocolate, right? These three. Dark, Milk and White Hot Chocolate, all in on neat little gift box. Yum. Yumyumyum. The chocolate is smoo-o-ooth, and creamy, and deliciously chocolatey. It just tastes like a cup of melted...
Thermos Stainless King Flask 1.2L | Pre-Christmas Shopping
We love this classic red Thermos Stainless King Flask (we’ve got the big 1.2l, but other sizes are available). It’s so pretty it’s a perfect & practical gift for Christmas, or perhaps to store some festive hot toddy or iced drink in to take to family and friends over the holiday period. Unbelievably it will keep whatever you put inside it either hot or cold for 24 hours, yes a whole 24 hours, how amazing is that!...
*LOVE* these delicious Woodland Cosy Pyjamas from Powell Craft
As jane Austen might have said (if she knew they existed), it’s a truth universally acknowledged that every one needs a perfect pair of pyjamas. And Powell Craft? They make as near perfect as a person can get. We’ve been huge fans since wa-a-a-ay back when Snugg Nightwear sent us a beautiful Powell Craft Fairy nightie for the then-3-yr-old Bear in 2010. And all these years later? We’re still HUGE fans. Bear still...
The JML NutriBlitzer Review – it’s not just for smoothies! (also – Spicy Tomato Soup Recipe)
I was really keen to try out the Nutri Blitzer from JML – pretty much everyone knows this house is on a bit of a health kick these days. But alongside the husband kicking his T2 Diabetes I have a house filled with teen boys. Who seem to sprout another inch every time my back is turned (honestly – it’s genuinely alarming meeting a shuffling man-shape looming out of the dark on the landing at 2...
Dermalogica Sheer Tint – sheer fabulousness in a tube.
It’s no secret that when I turned 40, my skin started acting up like it was 15. Adult acne. I mean, come on. HOW is that fair? So along with having to learn how to look after it for the first time in my life (What? I did use baby wipes on it – sometimes… – and I always used sunscreen when abroad, at least… *cough*), I was absolutely forced into taking a long hard look at what exactly I was putting on my...
Barefoot trail running with the Trail Freak II
I am not really a runner. I mean, obviously like most healthy people I *can* run, but I’ve never got to the point where I yearn to be running, where it is the joy and head space in my day that so many friends seem to love. But – I also know I need to be fitter. And I get so BORED on the cross trainer that I have to use Netflix to occupy myself so I don’t just jump off. And then I get slower and slower as I get...
